words = ["Python", "programming", "fun"]

# Join words with a space
sentence = " ".join(words)
print("sentence:", sentence)

# Join words with a comma
comma_separated = ','.join(words)
print("comma_separated:", comma_separated)

# Join words with a dash
dash_separated = '-'.join(words)
print("dash_separated:", dash_separated)

# Combine list into a single string
numbers = ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']
number_string = ''.join(numbers)
print("number_string:", number_string)

# Using the join() Function to Concatenate Strings

The `join()` function is used to **concatenate multiple strings** into one.

It connects elements of an iterable object like strings, lists, tuples, etc., using a specific delimiter.

```python title="Using the join function"
'delimiter'.join(iterable_object)
```

<br />

## Examples of Using join()

The `join()` function takes an iterable that includes strings as a parameter (input required to execute the function).

This function inserts the specified delimiter between each element of the string, joining them into a single string.

```python title="join function example"
words = ['Enjoyable', 'Python', 'Programming']
sentence = ' '.join(words)

print("sentence:", sentence)
# "Enjoyable Python Programming"
```

<br />

The `join()` function is useful for concatenating multiple strings into one or converting a list or tuple into a string.

```python title="Converting a list to a string"
words = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date', 'fig']
word_joined = ', '.join(words)

print("word_joined:", word_joined)
```

The join() function connects elements of an iterable with a specific separator to form a single string. Let's practice by joining the given list into one string with ' - ' as the separator.

### Concatenate Strings

Join the strings in the given list with ' - ' as a separator and print the result. The expected output is `Hello - World - Python`.
